The use of physical agents in rehabilitation has been shown to have positive effects on achieving patient treatment outcomes. Students will learn the rationale for use and application of various physical agents: superficial heat (thermotherapy, cryotherapy), deep heat (ultrasound), electrotherapy (neuromuscular electrical stimulations, TENS, iontophoresis). Students will realize the adjunctive nature of these agents and how they can be used as a precursor to purposeful activity.
